Is there a way I can setup doom 3 to run my maps that I created in doom editor other than devmap game/mp/map? And how do these maps become a mod?

although a map is a modification (because it introduces original content to the game), the game doesn't consider it a mod. It's just another map. I want to make this distinction because a mod in Doom 3 is something that you must separately load. A map is available to you immediately... once properly setup. First of all, testing your map after compiling it isn't any easier than what you are doing now. Press F2 - open the console - type the devmap command (devmap so you have more control over your map that way) - the playing the game. However, for distribution, you will want the map available in the list of maps within the HUD. This requires you to create a definition file for you map. Sab.. I thought I told you about this in another post. Anyway, translate this to match the Doom 3 game as it should be the same: open notepad type in the following Code: mapDef game/chapter13_mp { "name" "Chapter 13" "DM" "1" "Team DM" "1" "Tourney" "0" "CTF" "1" "Arena CTF" "0" "Gametype_Deathmatch" "1" "Gametype_TeamDeathmatch" "1" "Gametype_Tournament" "0" "Gametype_CaptureTheFlag" "1" "Gametype_ArenaCaptureTheFlag" "0" "loadimage" "" "mp_thumb" "" "size0" "0" "size1" "0" "size2" "0" "size3" "0" } adjust the values according to your map. Obviously this is from my book and has my values in it. The values are as such: Quote: • name This is the name of the map you want displayed in the list. You can name this any way that you want, just try and avoid using a long name. • DM and Gametype_Deathmatch Set this value to 1 if it can be used as a Deathmatch game type or 0 if it cannot. • Team DM and Gametype_TeamDeathmatch Set this value to 1 if it can be used as a Team Deathmatch game type or 0 if it cannot. Since this level has been created to work as a deathmatch game type, it is set with a value of 1. • Tourney and Gametype_Tournament Set this value to 1 if it can be used as a Tournament game type or 0 if it cannot. • CTF and Gametype_CaptureTheFlag Set this value to 1 if it can be used as a CTF game type or 0 if it cannot. Since this level has been created to work as a CTF game type as well as deathmatch, it is set with a value of 1. • Arena CTF and Gametype_ArenaCaptureTheFlag Set this value to 1 if it can be used as a Arena CTF game type or 0 if it cannot. • loadimage This is a specially formatted image that is displayed while the level is loading. Leave this value blank for now. • mp_thumb This is a specially formatted image that is displayed when the level is selected to be loaded. Leave this value blank for now. • size0-3 This is the amount of information that is loaded by the game and influences how the load bar is displayed while the level is loading. Leave this value at 0 for now. save the file in C:\Program Files\id Software\Quake 4\q4base\def (create it if it's not there) name the file chapter13_mp.def (use your map name) That should make it available in the map list hehe.. and another book plug: for more details check out my book linked below in my signature.
